"It has nothing to do with those people." The little parrot on Linsey's shoulder immediately shook its head. "This law's power to twist wills showed no sign of targeting me at all. I only noticed that something was wrong with Eris's condition, so I immediately left his body."
Linsey frowned.
"It had no effect on you... Or does this twisting of wills not target magical beasts, only humans?"
The little parrot froze.
"What difference does that make? Either way, we probably won't find any companions around here."
That complaint happened to remind Linsey of something.
He quickly opened the Friend List and sent a message to the painter.
Linsey: Ala Song, how are things on your end?
Linsey: Yellowstone Wilderness is currently covered by an Eighth Stage Awakened's ability. It completely controls people's wills...
Ala Song: After sending you the warning, I went straight into Impression Space.
"Phew—"
In reality, Linsey let out a breath of relief.
Linsey: For the time being—no, before I send you another warning, do not return anywhere nearby. This place is no longer what you know!
Ala Song: No problem. I know how serious this is.
Ala Song: If you run into any trouble, make sure to tell me.
Only then did Linsey close the Friend Channel.
Unlike him, who was traveling underground.
Ala Song had been painting atop the village ruins at the time, and had directly witnessed the strange phenomenon caused by the ability.
So, after warning Linsey, he immediately hid inside Impression Space.
There was no need to worry about his safety now.
Only then did Linsey continue answering the little parrot.
"Figuring out the details of the enemy's ability is the key to battle."
"If this domain only affects humans, we can focus our efforts on that in the coming fight.
